    How to play movie I downloaded.

    I downloaded a torrent of a movie called "Higher Learning." The main folder is called "Higher.Learning.1995.WS.Int.DVDRip.XviD-DoggPound" Inside this folder, there are another 3 folders "Sample," which contains a 2 minute clip of the movie, "CD1" and "CD2." In both CD1 and CD2, there are a bunch of winrar files ending in .cd1 and .cd2. In the past, when I've downloaded a movie, it was just one AVI file and I was able to play it directly. How do I get this to play?

    You should be able to extract avis from the winrar files to play them

    It's not 1 archive, its multiple split archives, hence the .cd1, .cd2, .cd3, etc.

    Yea, but the weird thing is that the CD1 folder had about 15 .zip files and I only extracted from 1 that was 14 mb and got a 700 mb file from it, half the movie. I did the same thing in the CD2 folder, and it was the other half of the movie. So in total, I extracted about 1400 mb from 28 >.>

    When you open one of the archives it automatically compiles from the others, and when you extract the avi it goes through all the split archives one by one and compiles everything together to form the one large file. So no, you didn't get 700mb from 28
